Whether you do or don’t like Liver and Onions you’ve got to try my recipe! You won’t be disappointed. Because Jamaica is hot and tropical most Jamaicans prefer to cook meat until it’s dead, dead, dead. However, since living abroad I’ve learned that overcooking meat is not the way to go. As it turns out, you can cook it well-done without turning it to leather and then adding gravy for moisture.
Never is this more true than when cooking Liver and Onions. My trick for cooking tender Liver and Onions is to cook it quick! Yes, it’s that simple. Of course the seasonings I use in my recipe also makes it flavourful and you can add as little or a much pepper as you want. Also, before you cook it you must prepare the liver properly so that you’re only using the most tender pieces.
